We’ve been at the forefront of the Tesla Powerwall battery storage market since installing the first in the country and are proud to work closely with Tesla in helping them to “accelerate the world’s transition to sustainable energy.”
Tesla Powerwall is an energy game-changer. The same ground-breaking Tesla battery technology that has revolutionised the electric car market is now available to power your home.
Powerwall empowers homeowners and commercial property owners to store clean solar energy for use round-the-clock and incorporates all the smart technology you’d expect from Tesla.
Now installed with Backup Gateway it provides protection from power cuts (all too frequent occurrences due to increasing extreme weather events). A solar PV system – without the addition of a Powerwall – will shut down during a power cut for the safety of the grid. However – teamed with a Powerwall system – solar panels continue to produce energy during an outage.
This feature makes it an attractive option for homeowners and businesses needing to keep freezers frozen, lights on and tills working during grid outages. Powerwall owners can also take advantage of the cheapest energy rates in the UK, saving up to 75% on utility bills.
Powerwall can be installed alongside any new or existing Solar PV installation or on its own to take advantage of Load Shifting.
A typical installation with solar includes solar panels and an inverter for converting the DC energy generated by the panels into AC.
Powerwall battery system and Tesla Gateway with current sensors which controls the battery and tells it when to charge and discharge. In backup applications, a secondary circuit may be required that powers key appliances. The components you require will depend on how you use your home battery.
How does the Powerwall work with a solar panel system?
During the day your Solar PV system charges your battery. At night your home draws electricity from your battery, powering your home with clean, sustainable energy 24/7. Powerwall 2 can also charge from the grid, it comprises of 13.5kWh of usable storage in a lithium-ion battery pack, which can power an average 2-bed home for a whole day.
How does the Powerwall compare on value for money?
With up to 13.5kWh of storage and capable of delivering 5kW of power continuously and up to 7kW for 10 second periods, the Powerwall is extremely good value as the price per kWh of storage is by far the lowest on the market. Smart technology enables you to take advantage of time-of-use and export tariffs.
How does the Powerwall protect from power cuts?
Now available with Backup Gateway to protect your home or business from the disruption of power cuts. Backup Gateway will detect a power outage and trigger your Powerwall 2 to take over. It will also ensure your Solar PV system continues to produce energy (without it, Solar PV stops working during a power cut).
How much could I save on my utility bills?
Take advantage of the cheapest energy rates in the UK, saving up to 75% on your utility bills by selling power back to the grid during peak rates. Intelligent forecasting software learns when energy is most needed and helps maximise your financial benefits.
What does the Powerwall guarantee cover?
TLGEC have been recognised by Tesla as one of their top installers in the UK. We take care of everything from system design, DNO registration, installation and commissioning. Powerwall comes with a 10-year unlimited cycle warranty with guaranteed energy retention level when used in Self-Powered or Backup mode.
Where can the Powerwall be installed?
The unit mounts seamlessly, indoors or outdoors, to a wall or the ground. In total 10-12 Powerwalls can be linked together to offer a massive 120 kWh of battery storage, ideal for larger homes or commercial application.
